    First smoking experience help

    Camera for inside smoker

    Not sure if it will work, the heat would be an issue and the smoke would cloud the view, but then the film build up on the camera lens would make it impossible to see.

    WSM, what makes it different from a drum?

    That's a tough question still. I love my wsm and didn't mind spending the time to tweek it to what I ended up with. The easy answer is to go get the Gateway drum.

    WSM, what makes it different from a drum?

With all the mods I have into my wsm it's right around about $1,000, it includes the cost of the smoker, a Digi Que 2 temp...

    NEW ~ KCBS Steak Competition Coming Soon!

    The competitor doesn't supply the meat, the contest director supplies the meat. You draw numbers and have your choice of what is on the table. It is actually the fairest way to do it. It all comes down to how skilled you are as a cook

    Which size offset smoker?

    LSG are a great product. Check out Assassin charcoal grills, they make a 36" and a 48" version. Even though they are called a grill they make an amazing smoker and the price point is much less than a LSG. Check them out on Youtube

    KCBS Judge

    Hey Cowboy, I would highly recommend taking the class. I'm a KCBS certified judge and love it. The reason I took the class is that I wanted to compete and needed to know what the judges are looking for. I showed up for the class with my son and it was held at the Mohegan Sun BBQ Fest. We walked...

    Help for a newbie who thought he could build a smoker.

    Yes, good point, I would drill plenty of holes in the sides of the firebox. Almost all are made from expanded wire mesh just to give you an idea

    Help for a newbie who thought he could build a smoker.

    Increase the air inlet size and also increase the size of the opening between the fire box and the cook chamber, then add a baffle above as a heat shield
